As far as I know, the AI is rather... hmm... carefree with component restrictions, and so will unlikely abide by the same rules as we do (for example, I seem to recall the AI doesn't really like "one per vehicle" restrictions, and will say so by putting four bridges per ship).

The Generate points minerals shows nowhere, but it does work. It will not be displayed either on the creature or in the Empire status screen though (it should show in your score however). The same goes for the Generate points Intelligence ability, although this one may show in the Intelligence screen (at any rate, it will show in your score).

actually every point generation abilities (mineral, organic, radioactive, research, intel) will work on components but will not show up.

Sorry, if the above is already done. I messed up registering at PBW and haven't looked at the patch yet.

Nope, all those bugs were still there, so thanks! I edited the buglist below to include them.

With the Dopplegangers, I think I was testing to see if Mineral Generation worked at all (for a different component), but forgot to change it back to intel! Doh!

For using Point Generation in mods, I find that Research and Intel generation are fine, since your actual totals do show up in the Research and Intel screens. The Resource ones (mins, rad, orgs) do function, but the actual totals are not displayed anywhere... so you would have no way of telling how much you are generating (other than keep track manually... yech )

I've noticed that before. I just don't remember seeing the AI put Base (only) components into a Weapon Platform...

Wouldn't it make more sense if all atmosphere's where oxygen?

From Readme-FantasyEmpiresMod.txt:

Why do all the cities have an atmosphere type?
Each atmosphere type represents an alignment, but, unfortunately, the names are hard-coded, so we are stuck with atmospheres in our cities. I considered giving all the cities the same atmosphere, but I think that takes away part of the fun from the SE4 design.

Ah.
